If you choose not to use an IBM rack: IBM United States Announcement IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 7

8 The rack must meet EIA-310-D Standards for mounting flanges and hole locations. The front to rear distance of the mounting flanges must be between mm and 762 mm (27.5 and 30 inches). The thickness of the mounting flanges must be between 1.9 to 3.3 mm. The mounting flanges must have either 7.1-mm (.28-in) diameter holes or 9.6-mm (.38-in) square holes on the standard EIA hole spacing. The rack must have a minimum depth of 70 mm (2.76 in) between the front mounting flange and inside of the front door for appropriate cooling. The rack must have a minimum depth of 157 mm (6.2 in) between the rear mounting flange and inside of the rear door to install the server and make space for cable management. The minimum side-to-side clearance in the rack between the front and rear mounting flanges must be 467 mm (18.2 in) to accommodate the width of the server and the slide mounting brackets. The minimum side-to-side clearance in the rack between each door and the mounting flanges must be 484 mm (19.1 in) to accommodate the slide mounting brackets. The rack should include perforated front and rear doors and must not prevent the flow of cool air into the front or out of the rear and hot air out the rear of the rack (front and rear doors, if present, must be perforated). Stand-alone racks must have side and top panels to prevent the flow of air from the sides, top, or bottom of the rack. All empty EIA space in the rack must be closed off with filler panels to prevent the recirculation of air within the rack. The weight-handling capacity of the rack must be sufficient to support the maximum rack configuration, including all servers, external cables, and PDUs. The rack must provide proper stabilization so that the rack does not become unstable when servers are pulled out for service. Power considerations: BladeCenter S chassis comes with two or four 100 to 127 V or 200 to 240 V ac power modules, 950-watt/1450-watt, model dependent. These standard power modules support blade server bays one through six with power redundancy. Cable orders: Each BladeCenter S chassis can contain several Gigabit Ethernet connections. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10/100/1000 Base-T interface (either at half or full duplex) for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the server. To connect the Ethernet controller to a repeater or switch, use a UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100 Mbps or higher operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3, or better, cabling must be used. Installability: The BladeCenter S chassis requires approximately 30 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install an operating system, additional options, or features.

IBM Electronic Services IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent. The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems. The Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
